Each week we print the following Sunday’s Gospel with questions for reflection and discussion. ENJOY! Fifth Sunday of Lent April 10, 2011 ~ Gospel: John 11:3-7. 17. 20-27, 33b-45 The sisters of Lazarus sent word to Jesus, saying, “Master, the one you love is ill.” When Jesus heard this he said, “This illness is not to end in death, but is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when he heard that he was ill, he remained for two days in the place where he was. Then after this he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.” When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat at home. Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.” Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise.” Martha said, “I know he will rise, in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world.” He became perturbed and deeply troubled, and said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Sir, come and see.” And Jesus wept. So the Jews said, “See how he loved him.” But some of them said, “Could not the one who opened the eyes of the blind man have done something so that this man would not have died?” So Jesus, perturbed again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay across it. Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the dead man’s sister, said to him, “Lord, by now there will be a stench; he has been dead for four days.” Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?” So they took away the stone. And Jesus raised his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you for hearing me. I know that you always hear me; but because of the crowd here I have said this, that they may believe that you sent me.” And when he had said this, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, tied hand and foot with burial bands, and his face was wrapped in a cloth. So Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.” Now many of the Jews who had come to Mary and seen what he had done began to believe in him. Jesus' promise of eternal life is central to our Catholic faith. Even though Easter is still two weeks away, we are invited today to acknowledge Jesus' power over death, evidenced in the raising of Lazarus, and to anticipate Jesus' conquering death once and for all in his death and Resurrection. When we join ourselves to Christ, we share in the power of his resurrection. When He created us, God sowed seeds of salvation in the resurrection. We sometimes use examples from nature to help describe this mystery of our faith. Jesus himself talked about the seed that dies when planted in the ground in order to produce new life (John 12:24). Using that image and others, we find hope and confidence in Jesus, the Resurrection and the life. REFLECTION QUESTIONS: What “graves” has God opened in your life? When have you felt “dead” and then experienced God giving you a resurgence of life? Describe some things in your life that bind you, stop you from “feeling alive.” What new life, new freedom is waiting to blossom in you? FOR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN: Think of a time when you held back from doing something good for yourself or another person. Describe. Spring is here. Think of some of the things that God gave us in nature that are signs of life. How do others know that Jesus is alive in you? Page 2 - 415 April 3, 2011 Fourth Sunday of Lent LENTEN HOLY HOUR Wednesday, April 13 from 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm in the Church Take a little time to be with our Lord in a LENTEN HOLY HOUR on Wednesday, April 13th, from 8:00 – 9:00PM in the church. We will have Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and our Music Ministry will fill the candlelit church with Lenten chants. We will close with Benediction. Don’t miss this very special hour, which will help us to better celebrate the liturgies of Holy Week. Bring a friend, who may need to experience the peace and serenity of prayer before the Lord.

Frank Gaeta’s nearly ten years of love and service to our parish family. We thought it would be fitting to ask our family of parishioners for their thoughts.

  • The Real Powers Behind President Barack Obama by Karen Hudes
    The Real Powers Behind President Barack Obama By Karen Hudes Tuesday, December 31, 2013 8:02 (Before It's News) From Karen Hudes Facebook page: Barack Obama is truly not the President of the United States. He is not a powerful person at all. Rather, he is a front man for more powerful entities that hide in the shadows. The real power in the world is not the United States, Russia, or even China. It is Rome. The Roman Catholic Church (Vatican) is the single most powerful force in the world. However, the Vatican has been under the control of it’s largest all-male order, the Jesuits. The Jesuits were created in 1534 to serve as the “counter-reformation” — the arm of the Church that would help to fight the Muslims and the Protestant Reformers. However, they fought with espionage. The Jesuits were expelled from at least 83 countries and cities for subversion, espionage, treason, and other such things. Samuel Morse said that the Jesuits were the foot soldiers in the Holy Alliance (Europe and the Vatican) plan to destroy the United States (Congress of Vienna). Marquis Lafayette stated that the Jesuits were behind most of the wars in Europe, and that they would be the ones to take liberty from the United States. The head of the Jesuit Order is Adolfo Nicholas. His title is Superior General of the Jesuits. The use of the rank “general” is because the Jesuits are, in reality, a military organization. Nicholas, as the Jesuit General, is the most powerful man in the world.

During his twenty- nine years as Bishop (1892-1921), McDonnell dedicated hundreds of churches, schools, and hospitals across Long Island. He founded Catholic Charities, started the diocesan newspaper, The Tablet, and welcomed many religious communities to the Diocese. As the Catholic population grew, Bishop McDonnell was concerned about further cultivating vocations to the priesthood. In the pages of The Tablet, he wrote: All of us are agreed, I believe, that we must take special measures if we would shelter those among our Catholic boys, whom their pastors and confessors would choose as probably called to the priesthood, and protect them from the modern materialistic spirit that pervades the very atmosphere… by placing them apart, educating them with those only who look forward to that same great work in life, the priestly field of labor… In 1891, Brooklyn’s first Bishop, John Loughlin, founded St.
